With BASSA membership exceeding 10,600, we are the largest branch of Unite in the entire country, we also have the highest number of both female and young people as members. This means that we are not only a strong union now, but one that will continue to be so in the future.
Andy Green Chair, Unite Executive Council.
I support Sharon Graham for general secretary, Sharon has transformed Unite. No longer do we cosy up to politicians, we hold them to account, as it should be. 1/2
Almost five years ago, together we began to change our Union.
We took our Union 𝐁𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐞 - back to our reps and members.
We uncovered the truth around the wrongdoing and alleged fraud surrounding the Birmingham hotel and conference centre.
And we have redefined our relationship with Labour. 𝐍𝐨 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐛𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐤 𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐪𝐮𝐞𝐬.
And together we have delivered hundreds of millions of pounds back into the pockets of members from successful disputes alone.
Profiteers exposed.
Cash to politicians cut.
Winter fuel campaign won.
Billions secured for steel.
Government contracts won for British aerospace.
𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐬𝐞𝐬 𝐦𝐚𝐝𝐞. 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐬𝐞𝐬 𝐤𝐞𝐩𝐭.
We are only just beginning.
𝐓𝐨𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝐈 𝐚𝐦 𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐦𝐲 𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐫𝐞-𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧. 𝐓𝐨 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐮𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞 𝐰𝐞 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨𝐠𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫.
To continue to win. To deliver on 𝐉𝐨𝐛𝐬. 𝐏𝐚𝐲. 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬.
Workers will always be my priority.

Solidarity, Sharon ✊

Today I'm with @Unite_Community members at the National Industrial Sector Conference in Brighton.
For the first time in @unitetheunion's history, our political fund is now used to mobilise members & communities on issues that matter to them instead of handing it over to #Labour
For those unable to fight with us, we must fight for them, for workers brave enough to have a voice & risk their lives. People like Carol Ng, imprisoned in Hong Kong indefinitely. Her crime? Speaking out for democratic trade union rights.
Solidarity with Carol ✊ @IDC_Dockers
Thank you @UniteSharon for standing in solidarity with our colleague Carol Ng, currently on day 1166 of imprisonment in Hong Kong due to her trade union activism. #FreeCarolNg@UniteSharon@unitetheunion
@UniteSharon 👏🏾❤ 💯
Once again, @British_Airways saying one thing then doing something else. We've been here before!
Solidarity to all @BASSA_2000 Reps and colleagues 💪🏾✊🏾❤ xx
If @British_Airways do not honour this clause, our members will have the full support of @unitetheunion. Unite stands ready to defend our BA members on this by all means necessary, including full support for industrial action. @BASSA_2000#JobsPayConditions ⤵️
Mark Regev claiming that what is ‘obscene’ is that ‘South Africa has manipulated the Genocide Convention in order to serve the interests of Hamas’.
Israel is a pariah state prepared to say and do anything.
Sanctions now.
